AHCI needs sorting too but this deals with the old interface

This patch doesn't enforce "255 sector limit" but instead:
- limits max PRD table size from 128 entries to 64
- enables quirk needed for some chipsets to split 64K PRD table entry
on two 32K ones (these chipsets choke on size == 0x0000)

correct and only the patch description is bogus...
Alan/Jeff: please elaborate on what the patch is trying to achieve.
Thanks,
Bart
